No WONDER HER HEAD AcHED-Couders-
port, Pa, March 8.-For two years past Annie
Schieldberger, o little girl living with her
grandparents in this village, had almsst con-
stantly complained Of pains in her head, which
at times were so intense that she was almost
crazed. Blood poured from her nose frequently.
Physicians both here and elsewhere were called
to treat the child, but they could give her NO
relief, and were unable 10 tell what was the
cause Of her trouble.
On Wednesday night she seemed worse than
usual and her shrieks could bo heard on the
street. About midnight the little girl cried out
to her grandmother TO come to her and see
what was crawling out Of her ear. Mrs.
Schieldberger ran to the child's bed, and by
the lig ht Of her lamp saw q hideous looking
worm, resembling . thousand-legged worm,
coming out Of the ohid's ear. The old lady
was so fearful that the worm would draw back
again that she seized q pair Of scissors aud cut
it in two. That portion that was still in the
ear drew back, aud the other fell on the bed.
DR.. Buck was called, and he cut out the rest OF
the worm.
The worm was over two inches in length.
The child, who had been quito deaf, has re-
covered her hearing, and the pains have left
her head. She complains Of great soreness 10
her head, and she will be taken to Buffalo for
treatment

AiGSSn;FaLLow TO BouScK.--we have notice

AGbVb.F FALLow TO BouNcE.--We have noticed
time and again, complaints male through the
Ne,cs and Courier against Sandy Keitt, formerly
Of this place, and now a deputy under United
States Marshal Doykn. Keitt, during tho days
OF Radicalsm, was plant tool of the worst
men in that party and during the memorable
campaigns Of 1876 and 1878 was n irebrand
among the ignorant negroes of this county, and
came near precipitating riot on our streets
between the whites and blacks during the cleo
tion of one of those years. Marshal Boykin
is we'll aware of oil the facts, and yet, strange
TO say, keeps Keitt in position. Is this his
ides Of civil service reform? If so, he had
better look up the law on the subject.
The fact that this blatant Radical bully of
1876 is holding an Office under Democratic
official in South Carolina is a standing reproach
to that official and he should lose no time in
cleansing his skirts by dismissing this objec-
tionable partisan. If Mr.. Boykin wants the
full facts in Ksitt's case they will be oheerfuly
furnished by our people, who know him and
his past record well, and, after getting them
Boykin should either turn the rascal out or
gel out himself, as the retention in Office of
such notorious character as Keitt is conclu-
sive proof that Mr.. Doykn is not tho proper
man to fill 80 important an Office as he holds
under Democratic Administration Orange

A Well-to-do Negro.

n "ell-to-oo negro
A CO ored man named - Martin died in
Cross Keys township last week, and after his
death the round sum of S755 was found con-
cealod in his bed. lie also held notes am ount-
ing to about $500 against two responsible
white people, besides one or two bales Of cot
ton and some other personal property. The
amount of his estate will be over 81, 900. A
few days before his death Martin sent for Mr..
W. S. Gregory and requested him to write his
Will. Martin has left one child, o daughter,
and his Will provides that q tract of land
shall be purchased as home for her and her
children and their lawful descendants, 80 that
it may always be o home for his descendants.
Martin owned no land, but for years had been
o tenant upon the late ID. ii. Sheldons land.
He was an industrious, frugal and honest
man, and the property he accumulated is but
one of the many evidences we could point to,
even in this county, of what the colored people
could do for themselves in this State, if they
would be contented, live piudently. be honest
and Industrious. There is no real reason why
every colored tenant in Union County cannot
in a few years, own, in fec simple, comfort
able home, if they will work diligently, act
honestly, live soberly and not allow emigrant
agents to make them sc contented with their lot
and dupe them by lying stories Of what they
could do in the Western States.

any Lawyer in tho State was more instructive

labor were always at hand aud dispensed With
a prodigality tha. greatly assisted both Judge
aud Jury, in arriving at q correct conclusion.
II Col. Rion ever advanced legal proposition
that was fallacy it was not to mislead, but
because he believed it to be true aud supported
by authority. or course, he was not always
right. but venture to say, he made fewer
mistakes than any member Of the Bar in South
Caroline. His honest mind and severe con-
science, would not permit him to bring a suit
that he did not believe was founded on justice
or, at least, that the chances Of success were
equal. In tho defence it was different, he had
to make the best Of weak side, but evan then
his eandor was conspicuous.
His learning outside of his profession was
varied and accurate. His miscellaneous library
was almost IS complete as his splendid law
collection, and to this, in his hours Of recrea-
tion, from three in the afternoon until bedtime,
he devoted his recess from toll, investigating
some scientific, historic, or literary subject,
bringing to his aid the help of science and art.

Court Proceedings.


The Court of Sessions was closed Thursday.
The most important cases tried in that Court
was the State y, George w. Fowler, white, for
assault and battery with intent to kill. aud the
State us Ike Moorman, for arson, in burning
Mr.. Crosbys gin house.
The defendant In each Of these cases was
represented by Maj. d. A. Townsend and I. g,
McKissick, and who managed their SnAs with
oonsummate skill. Fowler was acquitted, as re-
ported last week.
In the case Of Ike Norman, colored, for ar
son, those who heard the trial accord to the
counsel for the defense, the highest praise for
the skillful and stubborn fight they made for
their client. The crime wos committed in one
| of the wealthiest aud most intelligent neghber-
hoods of this county, and neither timo nor in
vestigation was spared to find the guilty party.
It is natural and eminently proper at oil times
that the perpetrator Of every such heinous
crime should be found and made TO suffer the
severest punishment of the law, and tho prose-
cutors in this case did only what was their
bounden duty to themselves and fellow-citi.ens,
in bringing the suspected speedily to the bar Of
justice, and by every thruthful means convict
him. Ofall villains, the inoeudinary is the
worst.
Solicitor Duncan, with oil his ability, did his
full duty in this case, but he '.met foemen
worthy of his steel," in Messrs To wnsend and
McKissick, although Col. McKissick was toe
unwell to take his usually active part in such
| cases.
The effort of Maj. Townsand before the Jury
is universally conceded to have been the finest
that has been delivered ut this bar for many
years, and created profound Impression upon
all who heard it. Exhaustive in argument
profound in logic and eloquent in appeal, il
stamped Maj. Townsend as one of the mos
effective Jury Baristers in the State.
Notwithstanding the great effort made L
save Norman, the jury found him guilty, bu
recommended him to the mercy Of the Court
and the Judge sentenced him to ten years ir
the penitentiary nt hard labor.
The Court of Common Pleas adjourned %
noon on Wednesday.
